Abrams Books sent me the book to check out and is partnering with me for a giveaway! All opinions are my own. Thank you for supporting Football Food and Motherhood. We’ve become big fans of this series since I met the author, Andrea Beaty, at a conference in Brooklyn last year. While they have major leading ladies in these books and you might think they’re not good for boys too… Keep Reading
This is a sponsored post on behalf of a partnership with Abrams Books. All opinions expressed are my own. Thanks for supporting FootballFoodandMotherhood.com. It’s sort of strange when your kids start to read. They start reciting your text messages out-loud and reading the STD ads on the subway to everyone during rush hour. But it’s also fun to finally embrace when your child graduates from level one reading into real… Keep Reading
This post is sponsored by Kohl’s. I was paid for this post and received the included jewelry as compensation. Max and I were in the middle of a solid tickle war the other day when he accidentally grabbed and snapped the chain on my everyday necklace. He was completely devastated as a six-year-old would be, even though I reassured him we could have it fixed. He adamantly exclaimed he wanted… Keep Reading
If you would have asked me even a few months ago that I would down this health journey, I would have laughed. I grew up on a farm and we hunted animals to eat. Dairy and meat were staples in our diet. But we as get older and wiser, the evidence is pretty clear that eating more fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes is where it’s at. They say this… Keep Reading
The holidays are always a great excuse for indulging a little more, and for us, it’s holiday cookies. Who doesn’t love a good sugar cookie? But sometimes, finding all the time to bake them can be difficult among holiday plays, shows and shopping (and Santa!). So there is no harm in skipping a step is there? Why bake when Little Bites has come out with Sugar Cookie muffins for the… Keep Reading
This post is sponsored by Kohl’s. I was paid for this post and received the included toys as compensation. Holiday season is here folks. And like any typical parent out there, you’re already starting to sweat over toy shopping, or you’re in denial about it and will wait till the last minute and throw your stress levels into overdrive. Don’t be like Arnold. The best way to attack holiday shopping… Keep Reading

Trust me, Amazon has you covered with SAME DAY shipping for toys, so you don’t even need to stress. Let’s focus on the things that are going to carry you over the finish line… Keep Reading
Abrams Books sent me a copy to check out and is partnering with me for a giveaway. I can still remember the very exact moment I started reading. It was in the kitchen of my step dad’s parents home during a Sunday get together and I was reading (well struggling through) a Sesame Street book. I remember the very last pages as I read them on my own and finished… Keep Reading
Now that I am in my mid-30s (yes, middle-aged and fabulous over here!), I am allowed to admit and say, as you get older you get wiser. I’ve lived long enough to realize this. And that also, time and quality of life (especially as a mom) usually wins, too. I want to enjoy spending what time I have with my family and friends – and being disconnected. And while I… Keep Reading
If you had to define your style – what would it be? That’s hard for a Yinzer. I’ll just say it – we don’t have the best style. Sorry out there Pittsburgh, but we don’t lol. I look back on my style in my twenties especially and it was a lot more on the Glamour Don’t list than Do. There was a lot of goth/bad ass mixed with really purple eyeshadow… Keep Reading
